Did you know that to solve this problem, we can use fractions? In the library at lemape Elementary School, there are 2/5 as many fraction books as there are non-fiction books. This means that the fraction books make up 2/5 of the total number of books in the library. If there are 56 books in the school library, we can set up an equation to find the number of fraction books. By multiplying 2/5 by 56, we can determine that there are 22.4 fraction books in the library. Since we can't have a fraction of a book, we know that the number of fraction books must be a whole number. Therefore, we can conclude that there are 22 fraction books in the library. To find the number of fiction books, we subtract the number of fraction books from the total number of books. By subtracting 22 from 56, we find that there are 34 fiction books in the library.
